[WIP] Ground texture mod

darkening edges around roads and fields. it works in a way lol, the train line without sort of shows the difference.

I really appreciate your recent work but may I say that I feel the dark outlines of the roads to be too much? To me at least they now appear as having been drawn with a pencil.

About the hedges: this is something I miss a bit over England as it is very typical for this country side.

My suspicion is that they created tiles that they could use for France too.

yeh there too wide presently. it was a quick test.

All in all, good work.

But why not making totally new, seamless, tileable set of textures, and their normal maps? Google Earth have very fine images of the corresponding terrain, which with some photoshop skills could be easily converted into textures.

In that way you can avoid stupid IL2 (used in enhanced il2 called “CoD”) texture placement, and make textures more blending one with another.

IF it's true that Il2 CoD uses a single tileable texture to cover the terrain, we should request to be transformed into engine from that to use a series of textures (and have them all be the same texture as a start), so that we can modify them and make them different.

Every artist will always tell you that painting a small border around the ourside border always makes the image pop and stand out more. Darker trees will do that.
